Awww. How sweet. My good friend who introduced me to riding owns a Trakehner Warmblood. The only horse I've really ridden for dressage was a little Friesian horse. :]

very cool!! I have never heard of a "little" friesian... haha
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You would sure think so. Shes tiny too. Shes literally the size of a pony, but shes so pretty. She was cheap because of the fact that she's so darn small.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you sure she wasn't like a fell pony?? they are like perfect little pony versions of friesians...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I'm pretty sure she's friesian. Shes not small enough to be a pony.. and I don't think she could be a pony cause we don't tend to use ponies for dressage. She's just a midget I think. :]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha true, I have yet to see a dressage pony.... well. she sounds cute, anyway!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. :] I asked about her, they said she is deff a not a fell pony. Shes had stunted growth or something. She is very cute though. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, I see. Well, good to know, haha. Ah well great things can come in small packages, eh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sometimes. Haha. I've never posted so fast in my life. Her trot is unbelievable. I wanna kill her when I get off.. but shes too darn cute.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha that's funny. I hate posting, I do it though, even though I ride western, because its a great workout for my thighs haha. its hard, and im terrible at it, but hey, whatev
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its one of those things that just come to you one day.. and it becomes natural. :]
If you do it enough I fell like you can't NOT do it.. sitting the trot killss. D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha i dunno, my horse sure has a nice lil western jog going on... sitting its purdy nice
my weekly challenge is posting bareback. ouch man, im sore the next day.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Posting bareback is like.. trying to half pass a green thoroughbred. Its like.. not worth the effort.. srsly.
Well Dressage saddles arn't built for comfort by any stretch of the imagination. 
I prefer prettyful round necks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha I know it, people laugh at me when i do it. but i tell you what, i have one toned butt!
i really hate english, its pretty to watch, and of course more power to the people who enjoy it, but it just doesnt work for me.
i have a friend who is very much into dressage. she has like dressage magazines and says its the only way she rides, yet although she rides in a dressage saddle, she uses a western bridle on a reining horse she is leasing... it makes me crazy. but hey... whatever floats her boat.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
THAT makes no sense.
You can't use a western bridle.. and say only dressage.. OK NO.
Haha, well Dressage is very pretty, but its not just looks, its probably the most difficult and tedious form of riding, which is why a lot of people have trouble with it. It depends on what you want, if you want fun and games, dressage is probably not for you. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
whatever floats her boat, i suppose...
I like my nice relaxing western pleasure stuff. It can be pretty challenging in itself, trying to set a slow place on my arab, haha... but yeah. other than that i really love to barrel race for fun, and a lil reining is great too. ive been practing bridless reining, its really fun
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, see I know what you mean. See my friend rides Dressage only but when she goes out to Montana every summer to see her family, they ride western saddle and basically bound their way through the fields. Hahaha.

A little diversity never hurt... I have a greenbroke Morgan who some of my friends are just dying to turn into a dressage horse, and I won't deny it, he's balanced enough and hes a great mover, obviously a nice trot on him, haha, but I just won't do it. He will be my wetsern horse, although i think he really has a lot of potential, and I might send him somehwere to be trained for dressage, although I don't see the point in it, I still won't ride him anything besides western haha
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It depends on what you want to do. If you get a good price on him for dressage and your willing to give up his western-ness (hah) you should do it. I suppose it depends on the situation too. If he is turned into a dressage horse, theres no going back. You won't be able to ride him in any way western, or the entirety of the dressage training will go down the hole.
:]

meh, I wouldnt be looking for any high quality dressage horse. I just really don't know yet, he's got such a great mind. For now, though, he knows stop turn and go, and I'm working o the Western basics
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, if you do decide to sell him, make sure you find a good place for him to go. Don't let your horse go off to some rathouse. D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, and not only that, but I need him to go somewhere that he can fulfill his potential, because I know he has a lot of it. We shall see, I will do everything I can to avoid selling him. I often think about leasing, but I just know that all my training will go down the crapper. Meh...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I know what you mean. If you absolutely don't want to sell him you don't have to, its a difficult spot that your in though. Maybe you could get a friend to lease, which may save your training? :]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i've been considering. I have plenty of friends in need of temporary horses, it seems obvious, but they are all either inexperienced, un-confident, or very tough riders (and he doesnt take much to get going, think it and hell do it haha, which I would like to keep!!), and the few3 that I think could maybe do well enough, can't afford to lease. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, if you like the way your horse is, then keep him. Sure he may not be at his full potential, but if you like him with you doing what you want him to do thats your choice. :]
Ouch. I know how it feels. D:
Competition is so fun, I love going to shows.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah.... I am just so stuck. that's the optimum way to go, but an expensive one, too. Ill have it figured out eventually...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I get too nervous to compete really.. maybe after I graduate I'll give it a shot.. as for now.. Eh. D:
Plus not having my own horse doesn't really help.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was really nervous at first, but after a show or too all of that went away. Now it is just fun
Yeah, it's a little hard when you don't have a horse for yourself
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I don't have a lot of time for my own horse, or the money. I have enough to worry about with school and stuffs.
Yea, I'm sure it would get better if I ever went to a show. :]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
boy I tell you, having two horses right now on top of school is extremely hard. sometimes i would not envy myself....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahaha, I'm slightly lucky that I have the ability to ride so easily without having to pay for a horse with such a good friend who has a horse. :]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep. it has its advantages and its disadvantages
